The squad departs for the Iberian Peninsula on Friday, August 7, embarking on twelve days of intense warm weather training. Tactical conditioning, technical drills, and squad integration will dominate daily double sessions at the facility. Facing top-tier continental opposition provides an ideal measuring stick before demanding domestic battles resume.

Before locking horns with Las Blancas, the team kicks off their summer trip against fellow Spanish side Granada on Sunday, August 9.
